more information.)
MIDI: Clock Mode: Auto, Master, Slave, Off—In Auto mode, Tempest senses
whether or not MIDI clock is being received. If it is, Tempest syncs to MIDI
clock; if it is not, Tempest uses its internal clock. In Master mode, Tempest trans-
mits MIDI clock and start, stop, and continue messages. In Slave mode, Tempest
syncs to MIDI clock and responds to start, stop, and continue messages. If no
MIDI clock is present at the selected input, Tempest will not play. When clock
mode is set to Off, MIDI clock is neither transmitted nor received.
BPM Source: Project, Beat—Each Beat has its own unique tempo setting (in
beats per minute or BPM) but there is also a single tempo setting for the Project.
If you wish to use the Beat’s tempo setting (and have the tempo change when a
different Beat is selected), set this to Beat (factory default). If you wish to use
the Project’s tempo setting (so that the tempo stays the same regardless of which
Beat is playing), select Project. Saving a Beat with BPM Source set to Beat saves
the Beat with the current BPM. Saving a Project with BPM Source set to Project
saves the Project with the current BPM.
Swing Source: Project, Beat—Each Beat has its own unique swing setting
(50% to 75%) but there is also a single swing setting for the Project. If you wish
to use the Beat’s setting (and have the swing amount change when a different
Beat is selected), set this to Beat (factory default). If you wish to use the Project’s
swing setting (so that the swing amount stays the same regardless of which Beat
is playing), choose Project. Saving a Beat with Swing Source set to Beat saves
the Beat with the current swing setting. Saving a Project with Swing Source set
to Project saves the Project with the current swing setting.
Compression Source: Project, Beat, Pot Position—Each Beat has its own
unique compression setting but there is also a single compression setting for the
Project. If you wish to use the Beat’s setting (and have the compression amount
change when a different Beat is selected), set this to Beat (factory default). If
you wish to use the Project’s swing setting (so that the compression amount
stays the same regardless of which Beat is playing), choose Project. If you wish
theCompressionsettingtoalwaysreectthepositionoftheCompressionknob,
choose Pot Position. Saving a Beat with Compression Source set to Beat saves
the Beat with the current compression setting. Saving a Project with Compression
Source set to Project saves the Project with the current compression setting.
